  18. That's the proper behavior, as "Execute" modifies the
  19. shell's command stream. Unless your program _is_ a shell,
  20. however, you're not really supposed to call RunCommand()
  21. anyway. See sections 14.5, 17.1.113, 20.1.2, and the last
  22. paragraph on page 502 of the Amiga Guru Book for details.
